JB Labs has good shows. My favorite is the Self Hosted show.

I assume the disco fever is all the pairs shorted together. Is this cable buried or run through the house? I would start by redoing your ends. Make sure they are crimped fully and both sides are identical.

How do you know the cable is damaged? If you have a toner you can hook the generator to the damaged pair and listen along the length of the cable to where the tone changes. It’s not as fool-proof as a tester, but much cheaper.

I use old oil to start a fire where I burn all my old batteries, tires and trash.

Do you get paid during your month off?

Since when does a possible tropical storm deserve a state of emergency?

You might like the Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews. It’s a series of 6-9 books but they are good by themselves. Kinda fantasy, kinda sci-fi. The books are short and fun and will keep you entertained. My other favorites are Brandon Sanderson and David Dalglish.

I’m from the US and I’ve never heard of any camper that can be stored on its side. You could try and find a used camper to buy, but why not rent one? https://www.cruiseamerica.com/ rents all sizes. My brother has rented from them. He and his family loved it. No issues with storing or repairs.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness on the subject. I’m mainly a lurker around these parts. I agree that defederation should be a last resort and agree that it’s not necessary to defederate at this time. Though I do appreciate the ability to block certain instances and users at the user level. Thanks for your dedication and hard work.

You can download maps from Magic Earth and use the app offline. It could have trackers. On the other hand, Osmand is open source and definitely has code to track users.

Magic Earth and Organic do not track your location or usage of the app. Both use offline maps so that activity stays local to your device.

The droid page says that OsmAnd tracks and reports your activity. Magic Earth downloaded from playstore or Organic Maps are better privacy respecting choices.

I use Shelly and Home Assistant. Set up takes 5-10 minutes. Mine have been plugged up and running for 2 years with no flaws.

Garmin is your best bet. Sure they compile all of your data, but according to their policy, they don’t share that with anyone else. You can also request that your data be deleted.
